Raleigh De tour deluxe

Anybody know anything about these

I have a line on one and wonder if it would be a good bike for touring around Cambodia.
I will be in the states in a few weeks and have a chance to see and ride it but was wondering if there was some experience in our esteemed group.

If you're going to be in rural Cambodia, I would think that a mountain bike would be more appropriate.

That rear rack is going to limit you to panniers that will fit on it,and you won't have a top deck to attach things to. The rack is part of the frame,so you can't replace it without major surgery. Also,if you're going to be riding it a long distance,those things are really heavy. The steel frame,IGH,gen hub,and roller brakes really add up.

Agreed a MTB might be a better suggestion for adventure touring.
